Can I get 10% from my purchase back if I give you pictures? I would really appreciate that and I’d be happy to help.

I fixed the problem by replacing the faulty LED with a new one.

For future reference, it might be worth noting that I used a SK6812 LED and not a WS2812B. I believe the SK6812 is a newer clone of the WS2812B. However they both use the same protocol so they work well together.

Here’s a video of the problem. It’s set to flow mode with a rainbow combination of colors. You can see how LEDs 12-16 flicker and change colors rapidly while the rest are fine.

Hello there,

I am currently experiencing the same problem. I have a B.mini X2. It’s been working fine since I assembled it but today the RGB LED W21 (the 13th one) started to fail.

The symptoms are very similar to that of Ubernooby. In rainbow flow mode if I set the number of LEDs to 13 or more, all the LEDs after 13 (including 13) go crazy cycling through the rainbow colors extremely fast. If I set the LEDs to 12 or less it works fine. LEDs 1-12 always work fine.

If I set it to a static single color mode it works fine as long as the LEDs were off right before. So if it went off->#0000FF it would be work, but #FF0000->#0000FF at least one LED from 13-16 has a wrong color.

I am very interested in how Ubernooby ended up resolving this issue. I just ordered some WS2812B LEDs, so I’ll try replacing LED #13 and potentially the ones after it too. I am not completely sure it’s the LEDs that are at fault though.

If you have any advice please do share it with me. I hope I don’t have to end up sending the keyboard back to you, I’ve grown to really love it!

Edit: I have made sure to use the latest firmware already in case you were wondering.
